The objective has no gradient you can compute, the decision variables are discrete (which truck, which shift, which rack), and the only way to score a candidate solution is to run a simulation and look at the result. Gradient-based solvers are the wrong tool, brute force is exponential, and the honest answer is a <strong>population-based search</strong>: generate candidates, score them, breed the better ones, repeat.</p>
